Carol Haynes is the Systems Project Manager at the Center for Human Genetics in the Department of Medicine at Duke Medical Center. She designed the first version of PEDIGENE® and has been instrumental in adapting the software to the changing genetic landscape. She has guided more than twenty genetics projects from the initial clinical ascertainment through the final statistical genetic analysis.

Seminar Abstract
Ms. Haynes will describe the PEDIGENE® information management system for human genetic studies. This Oracle-based system has been developed over the past 20 years at the Center for Human Genetics and has played a key role in localizing or mapping more than 50 genes involved in diseases. PEDIGENE® emphasizes data integrity while managing and automating many repetitive tasks involved in genetic studies. The system's streamlined integration of clinical and high dimensional genetic data (GWAS, CNV, -omics) makes for easy data entry and retrieval and includes robust security to rigorously guard access to confidential genetic research data.
